Getting this posted just under the wire.
I've been looking for an unrestored title card on the Wolf Man for quite some time as they almost never turn up for sale (Bruce hasn't sold any title cards on this film in 30 years, and it's been a decade since Heritage sold an unrestored one).

So when the opportunity presented itself for this (and some other early Uni horror cards) I flew out to inspect them and seal the deal in person. I'm sure I overpaid, but I felt it was worth it to cross it off the list.

Nothing beats classic Uni Horror in my book, congrats on this fantastic pick up!  It's always such a great feeling to finally acquire paper for a title that one has long sought out...

I love the Wolf Man card! I feel that a lot of the cards that show up for that movie are heavily restored for some reason. Even if you overpaid, it’s just money! The film history is priceless to me!

Well done there with the Wolf Man card.  You know the Universal horror numbers for what's sold and all, so when you say it's rare and especially in that condition, it must be pretty darn rare.  Also impressive that you flew to the buyer to acquire it.  Congratulations on the score

I'm happy I won these 2.  They're for 2 of my favorite movies, and the only copies I've seen.

Nice ones, Neo. What format is The Big Blue? Is that a subway poster? I love that film, it has such a nice vibe. 

I'm a fan of the 28 days/weeks films too and am looking forward to 28 Years Later. The opening to 28 Weeks Later is really brutal.

The Big Blue is about B2 size.  I'd think it's from the USA, but I haven't seen another so I'm not sure.  Classic diving movie.

Same here about the 28 Days series.  The first one is a classic, and 28 Weeks is also really good IMO.  I acquired what I think is the best of the title for 28 Days a long time ago - a Japanese B2, and I've only seen 2 others, but maybe there are a lot more that I just haven't seen.  Anyway, hopefully they keep the series going strong with 28 Years Later.

edit: here's a cool article about 28 Years Later: https://screenrant.com/28-years-later-questions-mysteries-answer-days/
  Also, there is a 28 Days Later Japanese B2 for sale that I know of - if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send the link

I'm a big fan of both 28 Days and 28 Weeks, got this B2 a while ago:

Yeah that's the best one for the film IMO.  There may be some in collections but it seems like they very rarely appear for sale.  Beautiful scene and editing, and the video work for the film is interesting, being early digital work.
